The dual-clutch EDC automatic can be jerky at low speeds or hesitate when pulling away, particularly if the clutch packs are worn or the software is outdated.
- Electronic parking-brake faultsModerate
The EPB module or rear caliper motors can fail, leaving the handbrake stuck on or generating warnings that become MOT concerns.
- Heater resistor and blower-motor wiring failuresModerate
The cabin fan can stop working on certain speeds or fail completely because the resistor pack or its wiring connector overheats.
